斯坦福因拒绝续签Sigma Chi的租约而被起诉,罪名是违反创办补助金条款。 Stanford sued over refusal to renew Sigma Chi's lease, citing breach of founding grant terms.

斯坦福大学的一个校友团体Alpha Omega House Corporation(Alpha Omega House Corporation)正在以5 000万美元向该大学提起诉讼,声称斯坦福违反了其创始赠款,因为它没有在2023年将Sigma Chi兄弟会的租约延期到550个Lasuen Mall。 A Stanford alumni group, the Alpha Omega House Corporation, is suing the university for $50 million, claiming Stanford violated its founding grant by not renewing the Sigma Chi fraternity’s lease at 550 Lasuen Mall in 2023. 小组争辩说,1976年的一项协议于2021年续签,保证无限期续租,并要求斯坦福“尽最大努力”寻找替代地点。 The group argues a 1976 agreement, renewed in 2021, guaranteed indefinite lease renewal and required Stanford to use “best efforts” to find an alternative location. 他们说,这项裁决违反了Jane Stanford最初的愿望,受到创始文件的保护,而且更改这些条件需要法院批准,但未获批准。 They say the decision breaches Jane Stanford’s original wishes, protected by the founding documents, and that altering those terms requires court approval, which was not obtained. 斯坦福坚持说,它没有义务延长租约,特别是在兄弟会2018年暂停据称的毒品事件之后,并强调其对24个希腊组织的公平住房分配程序。 Stanford maintains it was not obligated to renew the lease, especially after the fraternity’s 2018 suspension over alleged drug incidents, and emphasizes its fair housing allocation process for 24 Greek organizations. 诉讼中心是该大学是否违反了其根据创办补助金承担的法律和信托职责。 The lawsuit centers on whether the university breached its legal and fiduciary duties under the founding grant.
